That's a legitimate complaint. This attempt does seem to point out how a basic online tool is considered "first world luxury" even though it might be, and probably is, an important tool that will help a lot of people create value (new companies, mergers, sharing of information that may save people money by propagating best practices etc). (Sorry for the salesman pitch.)
I mean you don't go out and guilt a carpenter for money because he bought a nice power saw instead of using a manual one?
This just goes on to imply that internet "goods" are frivolous commodities further degrading the idea of paying for software.
I wonder if they did this similar thing for other 'tangible' goods, like this silver plated ballscratcher http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010NWP9K.
